the water is black the coast was clear |
|
now they're sweating dollars dripping fear |
|
what a way to end the fiscal year |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
they've given us a new career |
|
it's the make work project of theyear |
|
oh dear god bless the volunteer |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
your way can't stay |
|
your way cant stay won't stay can't stay |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
this ship of steel is a leaky tin |
|
spilt milk tears run down your chin |
|
this crying shame's a f**kin' sin |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
a rusty tanker's belly a fault somewhere it seems |
|
bled gallons to the ocean and poisoned the marine |
|
the shoreline's tarred and feathered |
|
and the seagulls look like crows |
|
the unofficial explanation |
|
"shit happens don't you know" |
|
your way can't stay |
|
your way cant stay won't stay |
|
can't stay won't stay |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
|
your way is the wrong way |
|
your way can't stay won't stay can't stay |
|
mopping up the dirty |
|
mopping up the dirty |
|
mopping up the dirty pool |
